 Thanks Thalix for the quick reply.
 I had a C course over 40 years ago and only used it once or twice since than for small personal projects. So the C++ links you provide are way over my head.
 
 But even though I have had no formal training in SQL, I enjoy it and have done several small personal projects using it.  So I mostly understand your SQL suggestion on how to get the info I want.  But when I do a cut and paste of your query I get an error that I don't understand:
 
 ERROR 1267 (HY000): Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (cp850_general_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation '='
 
 Even though it is my own server (and I am the only one using it), I do not want to "cheat" by shortening the spider respond time, I just want to know if there are other mobs I could kill that would increase the chance a a spider responing.
